Marine oil spills are one of the most severe anthropogenic threats to oceanic ecosystems, coastal communities, and global economic stability. While traditional monitoring and response approaches have played a foundational role in oil spill management, their effectiveness is often constrained by l ...

Many non-coding variants influence complex traits and diseases through gene regulation, yet the mechanisms linking these variants to downstream biology remain poorly understood. Here, we present eQTLGen Phase 2, a comprehensive genome-wide analysis of gene expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL ...

Insomnia and anxiety are highly prevalent and often comorbid in older adults. Although cognitive behavioural therapy is the first-line treatment for insomnia, few interventions simultaneously address both conditions. Furthermore, access remains limited by provider availability and high costs. To ...

Neospora caninum (protozoa: Apicomplexa) is a major cause of economic losses in bovine production systems due to reproductive failure and abortion in cows. Although there is evidence of camelids being exposed to N. caninum, the importance of these animals in the parasite's life cycle is uncle ...

We study metastable behaviour in systems of weakly interacting Brownian particles with localised, attractive potentials which are smooth and globally bounded. In this particular setting, numerical evidence suggests that the particles converge on a short time scale to a " droplet state" which is metastable, i.e. persists on a much longer time sca ...

Biosurfactants offer a green, sustainable approach to many environmental bioremediations, especially for oil contamination. In this study, the aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of biosurfactants in accelerating hydrocarbon removal from mature fine tailings under anaerobic conditions. The bacteria were isolated from mature fine tailings and tested for b ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique of the retina. The thickness of the ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) obtained from an OCT image is a valuable biomarker for monitoring MS. Since the functional shape (F-shape)-based technique has prove ...

Microwave-assisted synthesis offers several advantages over conventional methods, including shorter reaction times and more efficient heating in systems containing polar solvents such as water or ethanol. These features can be exploited to prepare and modify active photocatalysts for H2-production reactions, allowing precise tuning of composition and fina ...

Singing and vocalization practices are reportedly associated with increased relaxation, better emotional regulation, and enhanced social closeness. Here, we investigate the neural underpinnings of such effects and ask whether they are related to processes linked to the vocalization aspect or are a result of modified breathing patterns. Toning is a form of ...

Modern macrocyclic peptides feature unnatural elements that are used to improve the activity and pharmacokinetic properties. Chemistry beyond peptide synthesis must, however, be employed to introduce such elements. Notably, application of the copper-catalyzed aldehyde-alkyne-amine A3-reaction in ...
